 Here's some great information about Tire Training from our VP of Sales, and workout guru Michael Ritter.  He's even included a great TireFlip 180® workout for you to try.

The Benefits of Tire Training 

Over the last couple of years, you’ve probably seen truck or tractor tires popping up in a ton of health clubs, gyms, boot camps, races, etc..The reason is pretty simple, tire flipping is a fun and different total-body workout. Great for building muscle and getting your cardio work in at the same time – Win-Win! 

Tire Flipping is also a great way to work the posterior muscles, like your hamstrings, glutes, and back. Also, this a terrific exercise for your core muscles. This can be especially beneficial for those of us who sit at a desk or log a ton of miles in our cars. 

Unfortunately, tire flipping with a truck or tractor tire has some major down-sides as well. They are loud, damage floors, mark-up walls, and are dangerous especially in a fitness center. Additionally, traditional tire flipping requires a ton of space in the gym. Even if you have a large turfed area, do you really want to waste 50 yards or more on one exerciser and disrupt the other members? 

The answer is obviously no, however, The Abs Company has your solution!  Now, you can achieve all the benefits of tire training yet in a super compact design that will not damage your facility and is completely safe. The Solution is The TireFlip 180!
